Psychedelic treatment linked to substantial reduction in alcohol misuse and PTSD

Will, what are your thoughts on Ketamine Therapy? I know multiple people who have gone that route recently, and it seems to be increasing in popularity.

On our SAR team, we push Ketamine when needed during pre-hospital patient treatment, with good results, but it seems to be getting popular as a guided therapy for treatment of anxiety/depression etc. Similar effects/results to a psilocybin treatment? I know they are different, but both seem to produce a psychedelic trip. Pros/cons to either?

I am a firm believer that two things that can change the world that we (the US) are holding back are Psychedelic treatments (by the DEA) and mesenchymal stem cells (FDA and big pharma).

Tim Ferriss has done a ton of work on Psychedelic treatments and if you are looking to go down a rabbit hole this may be a good place to start - https://tim.blog/2021/03/31/psychedelics-101/

Mesenchymal stem cells are cells pulled from umbilical cords - more info here https://www.cellmedicine.com/ but they are literally the fountain of youth and can solve so many issues we have. You can't patent a biological so big pharma has been blocking it for years through lobbying of Congress and the FDA.

Wow, that sounds terrifying. One of the people i know who did Ketamine Therapy recently had some similar experiences, although not as dark, but same thoughts of being dead and convinced she was not coming back.
I personally don't feel any need to experiment with any psychedelic substances, but seems like more and more people i know are trying this type of therapy, so it's good to be familiar with some of the results. Thanks for the feedback.

It was a bad experience. Doc said he'd only had a few people have a truly negative experience but I felt docs and users should be aware of the possibility. Very few seem to have negative experiences with mushrooms under controlled environment.

Shawn Ryan discusses his experiences after a long list of guests from the SOF community told him how much they benefited from it. For those struggling with PTSD, depression, etc, well worth a view. He, like some others, also re discovered their faith after the experience, which is also noteworthy.
